The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate successfully completed a major-upgrade project along Kommetjie Road at the end of 2025 and positive feedback from residents and road users has since been received, according to a statement it issued.
The upgrade covered the stretch between Capri Drive and Wood Road, just past Masiphumelele. Additional lanes were introduced to help ease congestion during peak travel times, particularly for those commuting between Kommetjie, Ocean View, Imhoff’s Gift, Heron Park, Masiphumelele, Sunnydale and surrounding areas.
“We’ve significantly improved capacity along the eastbound lanes and upgraded key intersections and access points into Masiphumelele, including Chasmay Road, Pokela Road and Lekkerwater Road,’ said the Mayco member for Urban Mobility Rob Quintas.
“Importantly, the project also extended the cycle lanes along Kommetjie Road and through major intersections. This supports safer cycling and encourages it as a practical, alternative mode of transport in the valley especially during busy commuter periods. This is another important step in keeping our communities moving safely and efficiently as we continue to keep Cape Town moving.
The City thanks all residents and road users in the Kommetjie area for their patience and understanding while this critical upgrade project was underway.”
